Death Braved Unhinchingly Rather Than
Yield His Faith,

Death Braye0 Untlnchlnggly hather Ihan
Yield Ills Faith.
[Complled from Vol. I. of Hubert
Howe Bancroft's "History of Cali
fornia,"
On the Island Of Mallorea, Miguel
Jose Sierra was born in 17l3-a babe
that was destined to be the first to bring
Chritianlty to California. Of religious
inclinations, he took the franciscan
belt when is years old. In the following
year he made his profession and as
sumed ]unipero as his name. His
humble. God fearing parents were de.
lighted because. in his early boyhood,
he served as chorister and acolyte in the
parish church. His favorite reading
was the Lives of the Saints" and his
fondest ambition was to devote his life
toreligious word. He was an earnest
and wonderfully proficient student, and
before his ordination taught philosophy
for year in the chief convent of Pal
ma. From the famous Lullian Uni
versity received the degree OF S. 7.
d., with an appointment to the John
Scotus chair of philosophy, which he
held with great success until he left
Spain.
After repeated applications he OBJ
tanned, when IS years old, permission to
devote himself to missionary work in
America. While sailing to Malaga he
maintained a constant argument on
theology with the Catholic master
of the vessel and would not yield his
convictions, even though dagger was
placed at his throat, and repeated
threats were made to throw him over
board. Reaching Mexico at length he
threw all his soul and strength into his
work, and he labored there at various
places for fifteen years. At length in
terest was turned to California. which
then Tin 1907 had not been explored,
nor did it contain a single European
settler. He was named as president Of
the missions, which, it was determined,
should be established there.
Accompanied by troop Of Spanish
soldiers he started ON for San Diego
Bay to establish the. first Californian
mission on its shores. He had long
been suffering from ulcers on his leg,
and his foot became so painful on the
second day that it seemed impossible
for him to continue. It was proposed
that he be sent back, but he would not
hear of this. Thereupona litter was Or
de1ed to be made, but he was much
troubled at the extra labor this imposed
upon the poor Indians. He according
ly calldd a man who was used to the
care of afflicted animals and induced
him to prepare an ointment of tallow
